We understand that military and defence applications demand exceptional precision, reliability, and performance. From safeguarding sensitive electronics to preserving mission-critical hardware, packaging plays a pivotal role in maintaining operational readiness and ensuring equipment arrives intact—no matter the conditions.
Our military specification packaging is barrier foil engineered specifically to meet the stringent requirements of military logistics, offering unrivalled protection against environmental threats such as moisture, oxygen ingress, UV light, grease, and a host of other corrosion-inducing elements.
Military Specification Packaging
Our aluminium barrier foil laminates are fully compliant with the latest defence specifications, including:
- DEF STAN 81-147 – UK Ministry of Defence Standard
- MIL-PRF-131L Class 1 (formerly MIL-PRF-131K), – The United States Department of Defense military performance standard for barrier materials
- NFH 00310 Class 4 – Association Française de Normalisation refers to a high-performance level of barrier protection
- DIN 55531 – Deutsches Institut für Normung e.V. focusing on protective properties against environmental factors like moisture and gases
These standards ensure that our packaging performs consistently under the most demanding conditions—meeting the critical needs of defence procurement and logistics operations globally.
Why Aluminium Barrier Foil?
When it comes to military and defence packaging, aluminium barrier foil remains the gold standard for protective flexible materials.
Key Advantages:
- Lowest moisture and oxygen transmission rates of any known flexible packaging material
- Hermetic sealing capability for complete environmental isolation
- Prevention of odour transfer—in or out
- Superior puncture and tear resistance
- Protection against light, UV, and volatile organic compounds
Whether protecting high-value electronics, delicate optical devices, or heavy-duty mechanical parts, aluminium barrier foil ensures your assets remain corrosion-free and operational, even after prolonged storage or transit through challenging climates.
